Canadian campus students are issued Deposit Invoices at the time acceptance to hold their spot in their program. Students are then issued a Tuition Invoice for their respective study period, approximately one month prior to the term start date.
All students are billed via the Student Hub and must log into their respective accounts in order to view their billing details and to make payments. Details on how to navigate making a payment can be found in the Student Hub Visual Aid.
Deposits
Students will be issued a deposit invoice after accepting their offer. International students will pay a $500 CAD deposit, while domestic students will pay a $200 CAD deposit, to hold their seat in the program.
If you have applied to more than one program, it should be noted that you will be issued a deposit invoice for each program. Accepting a program will not remove the subsequent deposit invoices. Students must cancel the applications to the additional programs to have their billing details updated in their accounts. Students cannot pay any portion of their term tuition prior to being invoiced (as per the standard NU Billing Cycle – approximately one month before the term of study).
Tuition
All students will be billed on a per term basis, approximately one month before the term/quarter begins. The full term fees are due two weeks after invoices have been issued – which is approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of the actual term. This includes both A and B component courses.
Students are only required to make a deposit payment towards the actual program they select to pursue. However, the subsequent deposit invoices will not be updated until students withdraw their applications for all other programs than the one they are choosing to proceed with.
Tuition Fees
Tuition and fees for students studying at Canadian campuses are available online for easy reference. Students are charged the annual rate per credit for their studies. It should be noted that fees are subject to changes each year. Second-year fees may differ from first-year fees. The rates are updated online in late spring/early summer.
Invoicing/Billing Cycles
Term invoices are sent out based on your enrollment on a monthly basis. As such, if you are enrolled in four courses at the start of August (for September studies), you will only be invoiced for those four courses. If you later enroll in additional courses for the September study period (after the initial invoice has been issued), you will receive that invoice the following billing cycle.
Similarly, any course drops that occur after the initial invoice has been issued and are eligible for a refund (in full or partial), will also be reflected in the following month’s billing cycle. In these scenarios, students are advised to pay the amount of the courses that they are keeping. Once the invoice with the course drop is posted in the following billing cycle, the account should reconcile.
Outstanding Fees/Holds
If invoices are not paid in full by their respective deadlines, holds will be placed on student accounts after 30 days of nonpayment. A hold on your account will restrict you from enrolling in subsequent term courses and accessing academic grades and documents. Holds will not be lifted until outstanding balances have been paid in full.
*Please note that payments can take approximately one week to post to your student account, as it must clear international banking protocols. Holds will not be lifted until the payment is cleared and posts to your account and will not be lifted in advance. Students should settle accounts by their respective invoice due dates to avoid any complications or disruptions to access and/or services.
Financial Holds will be removed overnight, after full payment has posted to your student account.
Late Fees
As outlined in the Student Financial Responsibilities Agreement, outstanding balances will be subjected to an initial $195CAD Late Fee, which will be applied to all Canadian campus student accounts that are not paid in full by their due date. The initial Late Fee will be applied once per term where applicable. In addition, accounts that continue to remain outstanding will have a 1% Late Fee applied for each month thereafter, where an outstanding balance still exists, until the account has been reconciled.
